In that name, he introduced regulations that not only prevented Mexicans from entering the United States, but also separated them from children. That is why Biden decided to put an end to such a policy and tackled the regulation on regional migration, legal immigration and family reunification. - I am not creating a new law, I am removing bad politics. America is safer, stronger, more advanced when we have an honest, orderly, humane immigration system - Biden explained his steps.
Namely, the Trump administration separated at least 5,500 children from their parents after arresting them when they illegally entered the territory of the United States. White House spokeswoman Jen Psaki points out that the changes introduced by Biden will not happen overnight and that they are doing a review of the damage done by Trump's policies.
- The policy of the Trump administration at the border caused chaos, cruelty and confusion. These policies have diminished the security of our communities, punished asylum seekers fleeing violence, destabilized security throughout the Western Hemisphere. We want to establish an immigration process that is humane, moral, that considers the demands of refugees, the demands of people who enter this country so that they are treated as human beings - said Psaki.
The audit he mentions is called the Protocol on the Protection of Migrants (MLA), under which 65,000 asylum seekers were returned to Mexico to await hearings in U.S. courts on their asylum claims. Most returned to their home countries, but some remained in a makeshift camp near the Mexican border. Still, it won’t all flow so easily because conservative groups have filed lawsuits that could slow Biden’s agenda.
